  • COMEDY SIMP PODCAST #046 - Express Lane w/ Corey Hill
    Jun 3 2025

    Welcome to Episode 46 of the Comedy Simp Podcast! 🎙️🤣Host and comedian Stephen Michael James is joined by open mic-er and Whiskey Mile regular, Corey Hill. 🚗🎤 This time, Stephen drags Corey along on his drive to Tacoma Comedy Club to test out the wild idea of doing a mobile podcast — because nothing says “professional” like recording on the road! 🛣️🎧.


    Get ready to meet Corey, a lifelong Washingtonian from Kirkland, WA, who’s seen some big names live and has stories to prove it. 🌲🎉 They chat about legendary comics (like Jeff Dye, Taylor Clark and Andrew Rivers), local radio icon Bob Rivers, Seattle bands that probably played your cousin’s high school prom, and debate whether being a musician or a comedian is the tougher gig. 🎸🎙️ Plus, they get into the juicy stuff—jokes about Corey’s nonexistent love life 😂💔 and some “advice” from Stephen about turning 40 and how women’s standards have changed faster than a Seattle rainstorm. 🌧️🧓.


    The highlight? A hilarious recap of a recent dog rescue benefit at Whiskey Mile. 🐶❤️ Stephen recently had to put his dog down, so he didn’t have a furry friend to showcase — unlike all the other comics who brought their adorable pups. 🐕 Instead, he played a video of his dog on the screen, but… technical difficulties with Geoff, the sound guy, turned it into a comedy of errors. 🎥🤦‍♂️ Stephen spills the tea on how his set went and whether the audience was more into dogs or his jokes. 🎤😂.


    This episode is packed with laughs, life lessons, and enough awkward moments to keep you entertained. Whether you’re a comedy nerd or just here for the life advice, you’ll find something to love. 🎉💬.
